Sierra nearly choked, quickly tugging at Madison's sleeve. "Maddy, stop talking nonsense."

"I'm just joking! Mr. Gray wouldn't take offense," Madison assured her with a playful grin, winking at Theo. Sierra felt both awkward and helpless. Oh, Maddy-why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut?

Theo's gaze lowered, catching Sierra's flustered expression. Her clear eyes fluttered nervously, making her look both adorable and beautiful. His lips curved slightly, almost imperceptibly, before he turned to Madison and asked in his usual cool tone, "Do you want your novel adapted into a film?"

Madison blinked. "Which novel?"

"The one she was reading in the hospital," he replied, his voice carrying a slight rasp as his gaze lingered on Sierra.
